2020 has been a tumultuous year. When COVID-19 hit without much warning, many people’s lives and routines were disrupted. For some, that meant finding a new way to juggle work, family and household obligations in a confined space. For others it meant having to choose between life and livelihood.

Adding to the pandemic stress, was a series of events that led to a national reckoning with racial inequity as well as a highly contentious election year.

• What behaviors are people doing more or less of?
• what values and attitudes are emerging?
